Take the bed off.

I have changed my mind about the Cadillac tail lights.

Yes..... I know I was talking about it for a long time but now I just have a re-thought the concept and wanna going with a different approach now.

I am now thinking about a metal roll pan with Corvette lights similar to the photo below:

And I also kinda wonder how these like would look above a smooth roll pan:

Some other tid bits may arise.

Sounds alot like the work I have to do on the body. I was able to find a rust free driver door and a better pass side donar door, but it'll need some corner work and the custom trim holes filled.
